Presentation Outline (rough)

Personal Journey (About 10 minutes)
- I knew that I wanted to do something with cooking…but what?
- Even explored the possibility of learning those amazing knife skills that the guys at Sakura have.
- Food is what I’ve always loved, and nutrition is what I want to study in college, so what better way to prepare myself than with an excuse to cook more than I do already?
- I’ve seen my mom do though many a family get together and she’s always so stressed out. I never really knew why, since they always go just fine. That feeling of ease was a product of her well planned and executed preparation, so I decided that it would be hue of me to learn that skill myself. There’s a chance that I would love to open my own restaurant one day, or even be a personal chef, however, if that doesn’t happen, I know that no matter what, there will be parties that I’ll want to plan, so this is the perfect thing for me to do.
- Originally wanted to plan the food for Prom…
- So began the saga of Jepson Alumni Center. I met with the Director of Operations, Susan Worrell, who gave the impression that she was extremely excited for me.
- Talked about getting an AV guy to film my progress, and giving me a job.
- Met with Thais Lomax, Director of Catering.
- Didn’t work out
- Got some contacts for restaurants

Core topic (What I've learned)(10ish)
- learned can plan more things than I thought (ravioli)
- not to give up! Things are better than what I had originally hoped for.
- Had a practice run with the breakfast I catered for the Board and with Baking club. Both have proved to go very well.
- baking club actually taught me a lot. I knew the first bake sale would be difficult and that the first time is always the time you figure out what you’ve left at home or forgot to buy. Went to the grocery store with some member and planned out the right amounts for doubling certain things and everything.
- taught me to roll with the punches (blueberry muffins ((forgot to double)) and how to work with people. It’s incredibly hard to plan a bake sale and even more so when you have to coordinate with everyone’s schedules and make sure that they get to do stuff.
- how to make connections with people (Whittingham's --> Jepson, Poppy)

Conclusion 5ish minutes
- Talk about the first time I fed a committee
- Contrast with the Board (April)
-

Presentation: Powerpoint or something else...something cooler if there is such a thing. 5ish minutes/feed them cake!
- The wedding cake from Alice’s (or something from that book). Have a Power Point (or something like it); have pictures from each step of the cake as an example of something that I have to plan out meticulously.
- Have menu from Board Meeting as written document (and rough drafts with Scott).
- First Board Meeting (surveys and notes) (Orange Rolls, Blueberry Muffins, Banana Nut Muffin (not crunch), Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti, and Parfait with homemade granola).
- Baking Club: show the first notes (blue folder) and second (planner)
